 I've done the ipod joke before:

But I thought it fitted in well with the challenge. I still had the 'eyes' in my props draw, it just took a while to make the fake ebay page. Editing was pretty minimal, it just took a while to try and get the lighting right - still not entirely happy with it!

Not the first time I have seen this concept, but the others were photoshopped and not photographed that way. This whole shot is well done. I love the details on the printout.

ooooo I think we may have a ribbon contender here.

Wonderful sense of humour and captures one of the 'concepts' of ebay perfectly.

I guess the only thing I struggle with is the sheet of paper. I appreciate that it adds to the joke but in terms of the image I dont know whether it might have been better to omit it and trust that the voters would have got a more subtle message

Well, does it play music? I like the funny touches a lot: the fact they won't ship to Wales, the high bidder's name ... :)
